Two characters, at once real and fictional — Don Quixote and Kathy Acker (writer, radical icon, and dazzling figure of postmodern experimentation) — become sources and embodiments through which to narrate the transformative power of writing, immersed in the fiction of an eclipse splitting open the sky, ready to lull everything to sleep but them.

performance
After Klub Taiga and La mano sinistra, Industria Indipendente continues its exploration of expanded forms of writing, translating these questions and possibilities into a dramaturgy woven from language, sound, and image. Writing — created four-handed — feeds on the collaboration of many figures and affinities, with whom to imagine and rewrite together.
Bio
Industria Indipendente is an artistic collective working across performance, music, writing, and visual arts, founded by Erika Z. Galli and Martina Ruggeri. Their research takes root in language — an expanded writing inscribed on bodies, environments, and surfaces. It transforms into action and performativity, liquefies and expands through sound, voice, and light, dissolving the boundaries between self and other, between here and elsewhere. Their practice has generated hybrid formats and spaces such as Merende, in residence at Angelo Mai (Rome) since 2018. In 2024 they presented their first solo exhibition, BLUE BLUE BLUE LIMBO, in Turin. The project, developed in collaboration with NERO Editions, will also lead to the launch of a fragrance scheduled for this November.
